Ingredients
Here’s everything you’ll need to make this delicious dip. You can find the full ingredients list along with measurements and instructions in the recipe card below.
- Garlic And Herb Boursin Cheese- Super creamy and loaded with flavorful herbs, creating the perfect base.
- Fig Jam- Adds a sweet, jammy contrast that balances the savory cheese. ( I used the brand Dalmatia)
- Chopped Pistachios- Adds the perfect amount of crunch and salty nuttiness. ( I used the brand Wonderful Pistachios)

Instructions
Here’s how to make this amazingly delicious dip. You can find the full ingredients along with instructions in the recipe card below.
First, place both packages of Boursin in a shallow serving dish and spread evenly. Spoon the fig jam over the cheese and gently spread it to cover.
PRO TIP: Let the Boursin sit at room temperature for 10–15 minutes for easier spreading.
Now, sprinkle the chopped pistachios evenly over the fig layer. Drizzle the top with the hot honey.
PRO TIP: Don’t overdo the hot honey. A light drizzle goes a long way
Finally, serve with crostini, crackers, or sliced baguette.
PRO TIP: Use a shallow dish so you get all the layers in every scoop.

Garlic and Herb is the most common flavor to use for this dip and pairs the best with the hot honey and fig jam. The Shallot And Chive flavor works well, too.
